The lectern. You can also see the pews mentioned on Tuesday - they are the original ones.
Also visible to the right of the picture is a shrine to the Virgin Mary.

about Lectern, All Saints Church ... posted by Beth
Thank you for your pictures of All Saints Church, I have enjoyed seeing them. What a lovely building, I am so glad it is being used as a Church again. I wrote when you previously posted a picture of the exterior. My father was christened and his parents married at St. Mark’s Church on Shields Road in Byker; his grandparents were married at St. Michael’s Church in Byker. I have read that they are no longer in use as Churches. Do you know if this is true? If possible I would enjoy seeing a picture of them one day.

Hi Catherine and thanks! I’m glad it’s in use again too.
St Mark’s Church now seems to be a climbing wall and venue for children’s parties :( I’ll see if I can find out anything more next time I’m down that way. St Michael’s church seems to have been redeveloped in the mid 1960s and refurbished recently - and I so wish I’d found out earlier about this! Did anyone see it? Again, if I can find out anything more next time I’m in Byker I’ll report back. Thanks again for dropping in :)
